| abstract |
The invention relates to compounds and to the cosmetically acceptable salts thereof, which correspond to general formula (I), n n n n n n n n n n wherein: R 1 represents H, —C(O)—R 6 , —SO 2 —R 6 or —C(O)—XR 6 ; R 2 and R 4 , independent of one another, represent (CH 2 ) n —NH 2 or (CH 2 ) 3 —NHC(NH)NH 2 ; n equals 1 4; R 3 represents linear or branched C 1 -C 4 alkyl that is optionally substituted by hydroxy; R 5 and R 6 , independent of one another, represent hydrogen, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 24 )alkyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 24 alkenyl, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted phenyl-C 1 -C 4 alkyl or 9-fluorenyl-methyl; X represents oxygen (—O—) or NH—; or XR 5 with X═O also represents the esters of a-tocopherol, tocotrienol or retinol, with the provision that R 1 and R 5 do not represent hydrogen and X does not represent oxygen at the same time. The invention also relates to the production of the compounds of general formula (I) and to a cosmetically active composition that contains at least one compound of formula (I). |
